Top 5 reviews of Old Blue Last

If a band I like is playing here then I'm happy. One of the smaller venues that known(ish) bands will come to on a UK tour and tickets are normally under £10.

Lots of free gigs featuring lesser known bands, no cover on most weekends.

I always end up spending a bomb on drinks here but I guess they're not that bad comparatively. If you're of the alternative music persuasion, you'll probably...more

It's taken me ages to work out how I ended up checking in at this place, and it just struck me - it's that random pub stuck in the middle of Shoreditch! Pubs and Shoreditch don't really go together.
